Na podstawie najnowszych dostępnych danych z badania przeprowadzonego w 2003 roku, rozpowszechnienie codziennego palenia tytoniu wśród dorosłych w Syrii wynosiło 24,7% w całej populacji, przy czym odsetek ten był znacznie wyższy wśród mężczyzn (48%) niż wśród kobiet (8,9%). W 2021 roku wpływ palenia tytoniu na zdrowie publiczne w Syrii był znaczący. Według danych odnotowano łącznie 13 133 zgony przypisywane paleniu tytoniu, co stanowiło około 12,55% wszystkich zgonów w kraju. Wśród tych przypadków było 10 984 zgony wśród mężczyzn, co odpowiadało 17,37% wszystkich zgonów mężczyzn, oraz 2 149 zgonów wśród kobiet, co stanowiło 5,19% wszystkich zgonów kobiet. Te statystyki wyraźnie pokazują istotne różnice między płciami w umieralności związanej z paleniem tytoniu. Dla porównania, całkowita liczba zgonów powiązanych z paleniem w 2016 roku wynosiła 9 447, czyli 8,7% wszystkich zgonów. Wskazuje to na wzrost zarówno bezwzględnej liczby, jak i odsetka zgonów przypisywanych paleniu tytoniu na przestrzeni lat. Dane te podkreślają utrzymujące się wyzwania zdrowia publicznego związane z paleniem tytoniu w Syrii oraz potrzebę ukierunkowanych działań interwencyjnych.

Redukcja szkód związanych z tytoniem: palący problem Azji
Harry Shapiro
Tematem tego opracowania GSTHR jest Azja. Sześćdziesiąt procent palaczy na świecie mieszka w tym regionie i dochodzi tu do niemal połowy zgonów na świecie spowodowanych paleniem. Azja jest również domem dla dziewięciu na dziesięciu użytkowników tytoniu bezdymnego (SLT), co prowadzi do wysokiej zachorowalności na raka jamy ustnej. W wielu krajach zdrowie publiczne jest poważnie zagrożone, ponieważ rządy kontrolują krajowe firmy tytoniowe lub mają w nich znaczące udziały. Potrzebne są nowe rozwiązania, aby przeciwdziałać zagrożeniu dla zdrowia publicznego wynikającemu z palenia i używania tytoniu - jednak bezpieczniejsze produkty nikotynowe są zakazane w wielu krajach. Czy redukcja szkód związanych z tytoniem poprawiłaby zdrowie publiczne w Azji? A jeśli tak - jakie przeszkody stoją jej na drodze?
Oficjalne wydarzenie inaugurujące opracowanie odbyło się online w niedzielę 18 kwietnia 2021 r. i zostało współorganizowane z Association of Vapers India.
